Purple Divided
What color is America?
Is it Red?
Is it Blue?
Tell me brother,
What color is Love?
Could it be one or the other?
Am I Blue,
When I sing the National Anthem?
Or,
Am I Red?
Am I Blue,
When I help a brotha,
Who lost his job,
And can't find anotha?
Am I Red,
When disaster strikes,
And help a brotha in a bind?
There was once a man.
He had a dream.
Most thought,
It was a dream to good,
Too ever be true.
He dreamed of an America,
That was color blind.
Tell me sister,
What color is Love?
Is it Red?
Or
Is it Blue?
